Chapter 383: Gross’s identity
Of the three mermaid sisters, the eldest sister Parselope and the third sister Scylla, Rolf had heard about their names for a long time. He also knew a lot about their deeds through the oral accounts of Myrcella and Skull-headed Egg.
But only Siren, compared to her two cursed sisters, seemed to be invisible and had no sense of existence.
Not to mention what she had done, even her name was rarely mentioned by Luo Fe.
So he always felt that Siren was probably a low-key, reserved woman who kept aloof from the world.
But after hearing Gross's words, Rolf immediately realized that he was wrong... Siren was obviously not a good person either.
However, he still wondered: "Aren't Siren and Scylla biological sisters? Why did they fight?"
"Sisters?" Queen Gros sneered: "It's often the closest relatives who attack harshly!"
Rolf looked at Queen Gros, who seemed to be inspired by something, and thought to himself:
"There's a story in this!"
Gross didn't pay attention to Rolf's probing eyes. She paused and continued:
"As for the reason why they were fighting, we don't know.
In short, that battle was like a mini-doomsday catastrophe. Not only did it sink a corner of Avalon into the sea, it also made a large area a restricted area for life.
The entire island was stranded in the North Sea and could no longer float! "
"Then who won in the end?" Luo Fe asked curiously.
"I don't know either." Gross shook his head, then stretched out his white lotus root-like wrist, gently held his chin and said:
"But after that battle, the sirens disappeared without a trace, and the only one left on the island was Scylla... the mermaid."
Queen Gros cursed fiercely, and then apologized to Rolf:
"I'm sorry. The Dragon Scourge has killed so many of my people and husbands. I really can't help but want to scold Scylla a few times. Please don't mind."
"I don't mind." Luo Fu smiled and said, "Forget about scolding her, I would have cursed her every day."
Although he said this, he felt that Gross would never hate Scylla because of this kind of thing. There must be a deeper reason behind it.
Wait... her true identity can't be the disappeared siren, right?
Luofu was also frightened by his extraordinary imagination. He asked tentatively:
"Since you hate Scylla so much, why don't you seek revenge on her?"
"Me?" Queen Gros put on a resentful and sad posture, and said softly and tremblingly:
"I am just a helpless woman, and I am no match for Scylla... Your Majesty, I rely on you to support me and be bold."
Luofu twitched his lips, thinking about changing to a top-notch Boiling Goat. He probably couldn't resist the temptation and was seduced by Gross to seek revenge on Scylla.
When he was about to continue making insinuations, he suddenly heard a gentle knocking sound coming from his box.
Queen Gros glanced at the black suitcase in Rolf's hand, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth:
"After chatting for so long, it's almost dawn. It's time for me to go back... Your Majesty the King, I will send a carriage to pick you up and take you and your two little female companions into the palace later."
When Luofu was about to refuse, Queen Gros bit her lips and looked a little pitiful as if she was about to cry. This moment was truly charming and touching.
"I'm just entering the palace. I won't eat you. Don't you want to know...how to kill that dragon?"
Luofu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Gross stood up from his chair, said a blessing to Rove, and said in a gentle and humane voice:
"Goodbye then, Your Majesty."
Queen Gros twisted her round hips and walked towards the stairs. Rolf looked at her back and waited for her to go away before opening the box.
Shirley and Nailishi quickly got out. Nailishi patted the dust on his body and couldn't help but ask:
"Why did it take so long to open the box?"
"We had guests here just now." Luo Fe pointed into the distance.
Shirley and Nelisi followed his fingers and saw a graceful figure walking towards the door.
When she was about to cross the threshold, Gross looked back as if feeling something. Her eyes passed over Nellie and stopped on the girl with a burgundy ponytail.
Just in time, Shirley saw Gross looking back.
Both sides looked at each other.
Gross smiled at her, quickly averted his eyes and walked towards the door.
"What a beautiful woman!" Nailishi looked at the disappearing figure and asked curiously, "Who is she?"
"The librarian of this Tower of Babel." Luo Fu introduced: "She is also the queen that Livias mentioned...Queen Gros."
"Ah, she is the queen who is at least 170 years old?" Naili Shi said in shock: "Why is she so young?"
"Maybe he drank from the fountain of youth, right?" Shirley guessed.
"That's right," said Rove.
"Is there really that kind of spring water on the island that can maintain youth?" Naili Shi's face was shocked, and then she asked with great envy: "Where is it?"
"You have to ask Queen Gross about that." Rolf shrugged. "But she's not a good person. You two had better not be alone with her."
Shirley nodded. She thought back to the way the woman looked at her just now. That look made her feel uncomfortable for no reason.
The ponytailed girl frowned and asked, "Queen, what are you doing here?"
"I was persuaded to become the King of Avalon, but I refused, and then..." Rolf raised the leather book in his hand and said:
"We just talked about the books in the Tower of Babel, and she even helped me find this book, "The War of the Three Wizards."
Luofu quietly gave Shirley a look. She also knew that this was not a place for conversation, so she did not ask any more questions, but asked softly:
"Are you going back to sleep? Nailishi and I can stay here."
"I won't sleep anymore." Luo Fu stood up, stretched out and said, "The carriage will take us to the palace."
"Then let's have something to eat." Shirley raised the food box in her hand and said, "I made breakfast for you."
Luofu smiled and hummed, opened the food box and found that the breakfast was very rich:
Warm bread, milk and blackberry jam, bacon and hard-boiled eggs, cheese and a pot of mint tea, and a few starch sausages.
Rolf turned into a chair and a table again, and the three of them sat down and tasted breakfast together.
Just when they were halfway through eating, they saw a beam of intense light suddenly pouring down through the central circular hole on the top of the Tower of Babel - much like the Pantheon in Rome.
The pale light covered the brightness of Gubrai's fairy fire. It fell on the statue of the ancient wizard on the first floor, making it shine brightly.
Shirley and Nellie looked at each other.
Luofu also stood up in confusion. He opened a window and looked towards the sky. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
